Fergie Wears Her Sunglasses At Night

We’ve caught Josh Duhamel‘s dutchess sitting pretty at a ton of fashion shows here in NYC, where Fashion Week is in full swing. And while her outfits are looking quite cute and there’s not a pee stain to be found, we have to wonder, why is Fergie clad in constant eye-shade, and what is she hiding? That look is really not acceptable for any young starlet – no matter how many Olsens seem to think so. Is she trying to go incognito or are there just a couple of wrinkles gracing her face that need a cover? Maybe she’s just doing some undercover promo work for her local Sunglasses Hut. We asked Mary Alice Stephenson, America?s Most Smartest Modelhost and Harper?s Bazaar contributing fashion editor, to weigh in on Fergie’s latest looks – sunglasses and all. We’ve got her thoughts – and some pics of Fergie’sStacey Ferguson’s recent fashion dos – below the jump.

Mary Alice Stephenson on the singer’s style: Fergie’s style has really evolved since the last Grammy Awards, so much so that I’ve wondered if she’s gotten a new stylist. She’s been an insider lately, wearing the coolest new brands. She’s been looking great, too.

MAS on her face-hiding shades: There’s only one person who’s allowed to wear sunglasses and sit front-row, and that’s [Vogue editor] Anna Wintour. She can do whatever she likes, as far as I’m concerned. She always looks amazing. If you’re not Anna Wintour, though, it does look kind of funny. But Fergie’s probably really tired. She’s probably working overtime, and listen, I’ve been with actresses before. The paparazzi gets right up in their faces. I mean like inches away. It can be kind of scary, and it’s only natural to want to protect yourself.
